Location Mode

    Siggme Locations

    A Siggme Location is a real place — your patio, regular coffee spot, or game room — that you flip to “green” to let your circle know you're around and open to company.

    No invitations. No RSVPs. No commitments. Just presence.

    But nobody wants to:

    • Send 12 texts
    • Ask who's free
    • Get ignored
    • Make someone feel guilty
    • Be the only one who shows up

    So we do nothing.

    People gathering in a relaxed social setting

    The simple alternative

    Location Mode changes that.

    Instead of asking everyone to commit, you simply turn on your green light.

    Your circle gets a gentle signal that says you're open and people can stop by if it works for them.

    What a location is

    A Siggme Location is a real place connected to a circle. It is a lightweight social signal for spaces where people gather.

    A real place

    A home, patio, studio, park, café, or recurring hangout.

    A live signal

    A location can be turned green to show that it is active right now.

    Low pressure

    People can stop by without the weight of a formal RSVP.

    Built for circles

    Locations work best inside real groups that already gather in person.

    Locations are not the same as events

    Siggme supports both planned gatherings and lighter social availability. They serve different purposes.

    Events

    • Used for planned gatherings
    • Built around interest and time voting
    • Best when a group needs to coordinate
    • Ends in a confirmed plan

    Locations

    • Used for lighter, ongoing availability
    • Built around presence instead of scheduling
    • Best for spontaneous or recurring drop-ins
    • Lets people show up if it fits

    Events help people plan. Locations help people be open.

    That's the whole move.

    No RSVPNo commitmentNo pressure

    Just presence.

    How Location Mode works

    Location Mode is designed to make casual real-world connection easier.

    Step 1

    Create a location

    A host sets up a place connected to a circle.

    Step 2

    Turn the light green

    The location becomes active when someone marks it open.

    Step 3

    Your circle gets the signal

    Members receive a gentle update that the location is active.

    Step 4

    People stop by if it fits

    There is no obligation, just a clear invitation.

    Step 5

    Presence replaces friction

    The signal does the social work that messages usually fail to do.

    What happens next

    Friends around a dinner tableSmall group sharing time togetherPeople reconnecting in person

    Sometimes people stop by. Sometimes they don't.

    Nobody feels rejected.

    Nobody feels obligated.

    Nobody feels ignored.

    It's social permission, without social friction.

    Group locations

    Some locations are best controlled by a single host. Others belong more naturally to the circle itself.

    Siggme now supports group locations.

    With a group location, any member of the circle can turn the light green.

    This is especially useful for public or shared places like cafés, bars, parks, studios, club spaces, and recurring community spots.

    It allows the signal to belong to the group instead of one person, which makes spontaneous gatherings easier in places where no single host is responsible for opening the door.

    Some places are invitations from a host. Others are simply where the group gathers.

    Where locations work best

    Locations are especially useful anywhere presence matters more than formal planning.

    If people often ask “Are you there?” this feature is probably useful.

    A softer kind of coordination

    Not every gathering needs a date, a time vote, and a formal plan.

    Sometimes people just need a clear, low-pressure way to say: we're here.

    Siggme Locations exist for that.
